365 Things to Do with LEGO Bricks

Perfect book for building ideas

So many different ideas. Great book for all those Lego bricks!

I really enjoy this book to help jog some creativity. There are so many options in here to help build quick creations or add to something much larger. You can choose to follow the design exactly or make little tweaks here and there to make it your own. It's nice that there are different levels of builds within the book. Most are pretty easy but there seems to be a few more challenging ones. We haven't done one yet, but our family has plans to do speed competition builds. Pick out an agreed upon build and see who can do it the fastest. Print quality is great, really glad I got this and looking forward to having it in the family for a long time.

I thought this would give me step by step instructions, it does not. It has great ideas.

My nephew is a LEGO Guru! He can build LEGO sets that older builders find difficult. His Daddy told me that he liked this book.

365 THINGS TO DO WITH LEGO BRICKS is my absolute favorite DK LEGO-building book to date, because it includes generalized instructions for a huge variety of projects, puzzles, and games, as well as tons of master builders' tips. One of the authors is Alice Finch, who is famous for her enormous LEGO model of the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The book also has contributions from master builders Barney Main, Rod Gillies, Joshua Berry, Kevin Hall, Jason Briscoe, Drew Maughan, and Naomi Farr and Stuart Crawshaw. (Unfortunately the book doesn't identify the specific projects with the designers' names.) The book doesn't include any LEGO bricks, but it does come with a battery-powered project-selector and game timer. You push the ? button to randomly select one of the 365 projects; you push the Clock button to set the countdown time for games and timed builds. The timer is glued into the book's cover, and you'll probably want to leave it there so it doesn't get lost. You can access the battery compartment through an opening in the book cover. The timer arrives with a 2032 coin battery installed and ready to activate by pulling a tab. Many of the projects require specialized bricks (e.g., the bedside lamp calls for a LEGO "light brick" containing a LED light; the pantograph drawing machine needs Technic gears and beams), but these are available from the online LEGO Store or from independent LEGO brick sellers' websites. My personal favorite projects include the Magic Show (with the stage box that makes the magician's assistant disappear); the Box of Dominoes; the Build Your Own Home project; and the Bedside Lamp--but it's really hard to pick favorites from this assortment. The book has something to represent just about every kind of thing that you can build from LEGO bricks, and, as LEGO enthusiasts know, there aren't many things that can't be built or simulated with LEGO bricks. The Table of Contents is especially nicely done. Instead of appearing in a list, the projects are organized into categories (e.g., "For the Sports Lover", "Build in Micro-Scale", "Get Arty", "Give a Gift") that help you quickly find the projects that you're most interested in.

We got this as a gift. It seems likre a fun book for lego lovers.

Good read and good visuals, but I was expecting more advanced building techniques then what was expressed. This is more aimed at younger builders than older people

Te da muchas ideas

... ma nessuna effettiva istruzione. Il libro deve essere un regalo di Natale per i nipoti, quindi vedremo tra qualche giorno se fa centro.

Got this for my son who loves lego! He really enjoyed it

En plus des multiples exemples de constructions en LEGO , c'est parfait pour inciter à faire des progrès en anglais

Apesar de não ter todos os blocos adequados para muitas das montagens, fico observando as várias ideias e sempre descubro algo novo como usar alguns blocos especiais que já possuo e não tinha nenhuma ideia de como usá-los.
